It was about 8:30 on the night of the 27th, and it was almost pitch black. I was in the back of the vehicle when the Iraqi tank came up. We shot at it and hit it. Then it shot at us. We heard "Boom!" That was a blast from the Iraqi main gun hitting our tank and exploding. I felt our vehicle rock back really hard and then the Halon went off, which is a fire-extinguishing device. I thought, "I gotta get out of here." So I went back and I opened up the door...and I got shot.
